Guinness World Records confirmed the Mitsubishi Electric machine's time at 0.305 seconds, beating the previous record by 0.075 seconds.
The robot's solution time was ten times faster than the previous best human record, set at a rapid Rubik's Cube solving event in California in June last year.
Korean-American Max Park needed just 3.13 seconds to solve the rotating 3x3x3 puzzle cube, beating the record of the fastest man after him by more than a third of a second.
The 0.305 seconds achieved by the robot corresponds roughly to the time it takes a human to blink.
The latest record reflects the radical advances made in the field of robotics in recent years. In 2009, the world record for a robot solving the Rubik's Cube was one minute and four seconds.
Mitsubishi Electric said it achieved this feat by using “compact, powerful, signal-sensitive servo motors” that enabled its robot to rotate the cube 90 degrees in just 0.009 seconds.
The main limiting factor for achieving an even faster time is the physical properties of the cube itself. Initial attempts were unsuccessful because the puzzle jammed and broke due to the speed and power of the robot.
